as expected, the court has inverted the 14th. an amendment written explicitly to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy becomes in conservative hands an amendment that says it’s illegal to try to directly ameliorate the conditions of race hierarchy
The Supreme Court has ruled on affirmative action. Per Amy Howe of @SCOTUSblog, "The court holds that Harvard and UNC's admissions programs violate the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment."

For @wsj to say flat out that SVB could have failed because they added non-white men to their board shows how far behind the times (and certifiably stupid) this publication really is. It makes me so angry and very sad. WSJ readers and staff deserve better.

ppl who care about fair wages in the garment industry often call for supply chain transparency. but it's difficult to know what truly happens behind the scenes. instead, we should put into place legal protections for unions and undocumented workers to bolster bargaining power.

on that point: this squad was created as part of Memphis' response to rising violent crime in recent years, deploying what's known as "hot spot" policing -heavy enforcement on small groups of people. In this way, Nichols' death seems linked to our moment's reactionary politics

A young father, son, skateboarder, a photographer. This is who Tyre Nichols was.
He should still be alive today.

A year ago, I wrote about a 93-year-old woman who fell behind on her property taxes. So the government seized her home, sold it—and *kept the profit.*
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear her case. But there are many stories like hers, and they'll shock you. A thread.

1. It was blatantly obvious looking at crypto ads over the last few years that the ponzi scheme was deliberately targeting as the final bag-holder marginalized including Black Americans. Which again raises the question of the complicity of Dem elites & liberal centrists

RICHARLISON: "It is a basic right to have food on the table, healthcare, education and housing. I position myself in support and show my indignation for a minimum of dignity and equality for all the Brazilians that did not have the same type of luck as I did"
